This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Bangai-O Spirits takes the concepts of Bangai-O and remixes them into a portable-friendly package. It features 160+ freely selectable, bite-sized levels which last anywhere from a few minutes to a few seconds. It also features new weapons, new mechanics, and a rather intuitive custom level editor.

To do: Replay files in the "stage" folder of international version (files that end in "_ply")? "kitagawa080121.bin"/"mibu080121.bin" files in Japanese "stage" folder - save data? Create download soundfiles of unused stages (with Japanese version so they work with both). Also general codes for accessing stages.

Unused Graphics

Backgrounds

These files are found in the "back_bg" folder.

File Name: city_001_back_bg8.bin

An alternate city background to go with the other three. It has the coloring of the first background (#11), but the design of the latter two (#12 and #13).

File Name: mario_001_back_bg8.bin

A rather bizarre Mario-themed background which looks unlike anything else in the game. It features a rudimentary depiction of a Mario landscape, along with inversely-detailed illustrations of a mushroom, a Piranha Plant, and... a disturbing face in the sky.

While there is a stage in the game based on Super Mario Bros., it wouldn't be vertical enough to see the whole background. It may have just been made as a joke.

File Name: space1_002_back_bg8.bin

A unique purple space-themed background. Seems to be based on two other space backgrounds (#2 and #3), but with a different galaxy design.

Pattern

This stage pattern is found only in the international version of the game. It is located in the "map_bg" folder under the file name stage_map21_flesh_bg8.bin. It would have been the sixth and last exclusive pattern added to the international release, but ended up being omitted.

The main ground design is a somewhat solid black, while the various blocks are made up of an array of flesh tones.
